Originally released only on Cd formats in 1994 ("L’appiccato") and in 1996 ("Il Cappello ha tre Punte") and now pretty impossible to find, they are the first lenght albums from Fiaba. It’s almost difficult to describe their music, as there are too many influences (hard, progressive, folk...) leaded by an unique and original stlye.
Founded by drummer Bruno Rubino, Fiaba are a Sicilian five-piece band (bass, drums, vocals and dual guitars) who mix prog metal with medieval folk. They've been compared to everything from Fates Warning, Magellan and Rush to King Crimson and Angelo Branduardi. Their appeal rests mainly on Rubino's complex drum play and a fantastically gifted vocalist in the person of Giuseppe Brancato. His dramatic/operatic style is a mixture of Alberto Piras (Deux Ex Machina) and Demetrio Stratos (Area).
